Why does ruby-dev's official archive (http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/ruby/ruby-dev/index.shtml), and all the other 'official' mailing lists, have a search facility, but ruby-core doesn't? Regards, Martin. P.S.: I'm only just trying to find out how to create a version of Ruby that contains debug information (on cygwin). I succeeded to use the -g flag for compilation, but the information gets lost when the .o files get combined into .ar and then shared libraries. Any advice appreciated. -- #-# Martin J.
